Keeping you up-to-date: Local Land Charges moving towards a more digital future
In terms of conveyancing searches, the LLC1 and CON29 are synonymous with local
authorities and currently, they are both usually submitted together. However,
HMLR’s Local Land Charges Register consolidation programme will see LLC1’s,
post data migration, being submitted to and completed by HMLR with only the
CON29 going to local authorities.
Warwick District Council have been confirmed as the first Local Authority to
complete the digitalisation of its Local Land Charges (LLC1) data from the 11
July 2018 with other English Local Authorities scheduled to follow over the
coming months including Liverpool, Blackpool, City of London and Lambeth.
Thames Water Property Searches will continue to ensure that the CON29 and LLC1
are delivered together meaning our customers will not need to worry about this
transition, whilst continuing to receive the high level of customer service we
provide. Being a fully licensed channel of NLIS (The National Land Information
Service), Thames Water Property Searches connect electronically with every Local
Authority in England and the HMLR via the NLIS Hub meaning its customers will
continue to receive a seamless service.
The National Land
Information Service (NLIS) is a government approved and regulated, electronic
land and property searches portal. NLIS connects users directly to land
and property information held by local authorities, central government and
other organisations that provide official sources of land and property data. It
offers the highest standards of electronic property search accessibility
available on the market today. Regulated by Land Data, it is the safest,
most secure data hub within the property search information market.
